This card has had many hours work put into it. It started as a seed of an idea and whilst it did not turn out perfectly how I had hoped I think it turned out pretty well for something I had never done before.

Have to say I started with a completely diff idea for this card and then flipping through my dies I found the graveyard boarder die and remembered I had the witches die and the idea was born. I am sharing both versions of the Card the blinged up starry sky version and the plain not sure which I like better tbh.

I would change a couple of things like adding the witches into the technique. But as always live and learn

Ingredients: Lifestyle Crafts Dies ‘Graveyard Boarder’ & ‘Witches’, Liquitex Iridescent Medium (I love this to add a pearl type shimmer to things as I had no white pearlised paper this worked well to make the moon blend into everything else), Paper Accents Pearlised Paper in ‘Baroque’ and ‘Gems’, Thermoweb Foam Squares.

And 2mm Nail Art Rhinestones (well worth looking for on ebay I scored 20k for $4 which is a total bargain you can get bigger sizes I like the 2mm for doing hand blinged flourishes and what not. Totally a bargain crafter’s dream)

Soo this did not quite turn out the way I had envisioned, I think it was my mistake to stamp the image in desert sand and then try to colour her. However whilst not completely happy with it, I don’t hate it. The original stenciling has been lost somewhat due to the use of Iridescent Medium to give the ‘curtains’ their shimmer.

I will admit this one was a bit of a struggle for me, turns out I can now add 3 areas of my die stash I am lacking in itty bitty mini dies, Single Leter Alphabet dies and boarder dies that do not chop off a whole strip with it.

Soo I am falling a bit behind, however today was one of those hours and hours sorting and putting away craft supplies kind of days (Thank Goodness for the Game of Thrones Season 3 Marathon). Though I did Manage to do this Day 3 Card

I was not sure about this technique at first it felt a little fussy to me but honestly I really love how this card turned out. I did end up with lots of extra bits as my heart balloons were a little big, I probably should have used a bigger card so they looked smaller but I do love the set they are from.
